Olivia said that she thinks Rachel , who worked as the editor at The Lady and also writes for the Mail On Sunday and the Big Issue, is trying to probe Ann for newsworthy lines – as Ann has some controversial viewpoints on life.

When Rylan asked Olivia if he thinks that Rachel has her “journalist head” on, she said:

“100 per cent. The journalist in her… you can see the conversation as a group, and she’ll take it back to Ann.

“She knows that a lot of Ann’s opinions are quite unpopular, and I think she’s goading her to say some of them, because she knows the outside reaction and the inside reaction.

“Some of [Ann’s opinions] are quite old-fashioned.”

Ann and Rachel have got fiery on several topics since they went into the house, including the subject of women choosing to stay at home and be mothers instead of working.

Ann became well known for her political standpoint when she was a Tory MP, particularly for her opposition of LGBT equality.

She also supported the re-introduction of the death penalty and the retention of blasphemy laws.

She held various positions within the Conservative Party, including Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Social Security and Minister of State for Prisons.

She retired from politics at the 2010 general election and backed Britain's withdrawal from the European Union during the 2016 EU Referendum .
